ROT,

"Btw, I find merit in your NIAP Protection Profiles approval process involving the 26 nations (thanks for your DD). Whereas any gov't can move forward with TPM deployment (e.g. Wave's U.S. gov't VSC customer), you're correct that the NIAP approval will make it easier for TPM-management vendors (e.g. Wave) to sell into the 26 nations. Wave has gov't sales initiatives today (in the U.S. and the U.K. for sure and possibly others) but for Wave to show customers the NIAP Protection Profiles process is a bullet point. Even ahead of the approval."

Thanks for the complement.

When you see 26 Nations involved in developing those Technical Protection Profiles and then getting accredited Labs up to speed to certify products you can see why the NSA/NIST and the CESG's of the Nations are involved. Many Gov'ts want their say in the securing of the Internet Of Things.

It's beyond complex but it's necessary. Once more TPM 2.0's get into the wild it will enable any country to chose from a menu of encryption algorithms they want to use. But this will not stop the use of the TPM 1.2 for certain applications. JMO
